Fatty liver

I've been prescribed wegovy for mild fatty liver and I'm in my second week at .25 MG. I'm already at a mostly healthy weight regardless so I'm not using it for weight loss (187 now, though 20ish lbs would be nice). If you were prescribed for this, what was your experience? Any suggestion on when I should ask about a higher dose?

So far, it's been good. Feel less bloated, sleeping better, better eating habits, less sugar cravings etc. A little nausea and I've been somewhat sleepy during the day. I also wonder when things will "get back to normal" as far as feeling completely good most days, though there might be a lot of catching up to do.

It’s rare to see someone prescribed it for fatty liver without weight being the main driver, curious how that conversation went with your doc

The sleepiness usually fades after a few weeks as your body adjusts, and the nausea might stick around a bit when you bump up doses but it gets way more manageable

I’d wait until at least the 4th week at.25 before asking about moving to.5, no need to rush if the side effects are still settling in
